Progressive Monotube Fork Cartridge Kit for GL1800
ITEM CODE: TR779004, SKU: TR779004
Better later than never
| Installed these with the All Balls steering bearings and the ride difference is very noticeably better. Overall much smoother and tighter. I was replacing fork seals and figured let's get the Monotube Progressive cartridges. Note: you don't have to wait til you have a blown fork tube. |
All Balls Steering Bearings for GL1800 & F6B
ITEM CODE: TR416233, SKU: TR416233
Insane repsonsiveness.
| Took them out for a 270 mile jaunt. I was at first worried because I seemed to be all over the road but it is the responsiveness I was not used to with these puppies installed. It is very smooth and no lag like the old stock bearings had when turning. The old way of oversteering to keep her straight are now but sloght nudges. |
HP Coolant
ITEM CODE: HO08C50C321S02, SKU: HO08C50C321S02
Engine running cooler
| 2012 GL1800, still had the old green in it so probably first radiator clean and flush. Must say for 11 years the green did well, no scale on drain plug or the radiator cap. After cleaning and flushing twice I put in this product in, got bubbles stopped, went for a ride and the Temp Guage stayed visibly below where I was used to seeing while riding. Came home filled it some more. It's supposed to take 4.06 qts in the radiator/ engine and I have the recommended amount in the reservoir and I still have half a quart to get in the radiator. Regardless, the engine runs way cooler now and if it is improved to prevent scaling we're down fir a good five years. |
Performance Stainless Belly Pan
ITEM CODE: WS187416, SKU: WS187416
Easily installed.
| Installed this today on my 2012 and it is a lot easier than changing the air filter. Comes with a protective film on the two parts and once you get that off your halfway there. It went where it is designed to go witjout much fussing around. Cons - I don't care for the way it just sits on the lip of the front lower cowling and it leaves a big gap on both sides on the front end of it. Debris probably won't get in there but they are there. I didn't find the edges dangerously sharp, a lot less dangerois than when I worked in sheet metal. I believe it will do what it is designed to do. Too bad we can't post images of what we write. |
Avon Cobra Chrome Radial Tires for GL1800
ITEM CODE: PG23038
Lots of meat
| This is my first set of Avon tires. I went with the R70 which created the need to choreograph getting the wheel and centramatic back on the lugs. I got the wheel and tire past the lugs, then slipped the centramatics in from the bottom, shifted the tire to get room to mount the centramatic, then hoisted the wheel upon the lugs, tada. The larger size also makes it easier to get the bike up on the center stand because it is vertically taller than the R60. Lots of rubber, have only ridden it to test out my Henry's Final Drive and the ride was what I would expect. The only draw back is there is no yellow dot to position next to the valve stem when mounting onto rim. Too bad we can't come back and update our reviews in case I have some of the problems noted in reviews of others. |
Galfer Performance Brake Pads
ITEM CODE: PG33866
06.03.2021
Perfect fit, easy install, good stopping power.
| The prep of the disk for the install stopped the slight squeak in front when braking. Parts fit exactly, too exactly, spent extra time looking for a problem, meh, sometimes installs go this well 👍. Good stopping power, will buy again when needed. |
2 Piece Rainsuit Black/Orange
ITEM CODE: PG37415
03.18.2021
Quality workmanship.
| Looks like it will fit nicely over my other gear and not give me that suffocating feeling from rain gear. Stitching and zippers look sturdy and appears it will keep water out at neck well. Have a set from HD and this set looks every bit as functional. Have not used it yet and hope I don't have to anytime soon. |
Bridgestone Tire COMBO for GL1800 G704/G709
ITEM CODE: WSBRCOMBO, SKU: WSBRCOMBO
Good Mileage, smooth ride
| This is my second set installed, 12K on last set. Had E4 Dunnies when I bought it and the ride was a bit stiffer, not horrible but noticeably different to me. |
ITEM: BB52845
Perfect Fit
| The hardest part of installing these were getting them out of the packaging! Once I managed that it was very simple to attach the rubber Velcro feet to both surfaces and stand back in amazement. they should take the brunt of projectiles up to a certain mass and protect the lights. The Velcro like attachment system leaves me expecting to find one of them missing eventually but we shall see. They do look nice and do not detract from the ability of the lights to shine. I feel better with them on than not having anything, will update after 10,000 miles or so in a month or so. |
Pathfinder Running Turnsignal Rectangle Driving Light Kit
ITEM CODE: AOGL18RFL, SKU: AOGL18RFL
Fills the bill!
| Absolutely love these lights. Have a 2012 with the odd shaped fog light hole in the lower cowling. The video referenced to in the scant directions was all I needed to get these puppies installed. Took me about two hours start to finish since I already had the bike "partially: (ha ha) disassembled from installing a new air filter. I chose to not put in the adapter to keep the fog lights on when I hit the brights because I have Clearwater running lights that outshine everything anyway but I did try it, very simple swap if you choose that option. The turn signals add more visibility as to one's intentions for turning. Setting the aiming height for the lights was super simple as there is a very definitive line of the top of the light on the garage door. I would buy them again. |
Rubber Key Chain & Zipper Pull
ITEM CODE: WSKEYCHAIN, SKU: WSKEYCHAIN
Nifty and Functional
| I use em for "danglies" from the helmet holders under the trunk they're perfect for that as well as durable for an actual zipper pull. |
